{Sweet Treats Takes a Sweet Vacation}

Ahhhh....there's just nothing like escaping to a beautiful tropical paradise smack dab in the middle of winter.  A place where the heat knocks the chill off your bones, the sun basks away the stress and tension that has built up over the course of the year,  the view of nice tall palm trees replace concrete buildings and street lights, and the sounds of horns honking and office gib gab is substituted with the smooth, calming sounds of ocean waves lapping with the current.

Or as we called it for a week...the good life. 

For seven days and seven nights, our biggest concern was whether we wanted to go to the pool, then the beach...or the beach, then the pool.  Or how to say "one more daquiri" en Español.  (WHEW that Spanish 1 recall came in handy!)

We spent time reading, reflecting, catching up, dancing, laughing, and just plain old vegging out.  It was good for the soul...and also good for our tan...as most of it was done pool side or on the beach.  Nothing beats good old fashioned girl time, and we had plenty of it.

We thoroughly enjoyed the people and the scenery of the Dominican Republic.  There were tears on the way back to the airport...for real...But most of all we enjoyed each other.  And we brought back with us a lot of sweet memories.
